That is a bit much. I know when people were selling it with confidence, for 50-70k and was only mid of last year.

If Torpor and other shaman spells were cheap you would see 2 million shaman on the server as opposed to just 1 million.

Skorge, you're boggling my mind atm. Look for the easiest explanations. Torpor got stupid expensive suddenly? It was because a bunch of shams appeared suddenly and no one kills emp, prot, guardian wurms, or vp trash. You can't blame the economy as a whole for ONE thing being (allegedly) so far out of whack.

You are forgetting that torpor is a level 60 shaman spell. How do a bunch of level 60 shamans appear suddenly? Haha im just busting your chops man. I know what you are saying. There has a been a strong rise in shaman, but not all make it to level 60 before they get burnt out.

I do see where the OP is coming from. He probably remembers 8 months ago or so when they were going for 50k or less, which is actually possible for someone in his situation to afford. Now at 150k it's out of his reach, unless he gets lucky farming it himself...

I would actually go out on a limb and say that one of the reasons why there are so many shamans now is because they are so easy to level, because there are so many fungi tunics on the server as well as JBBs and the epic is MQ'able here and very cheap/easy compared to other epics.

One could even argue because of the above, Torpor's price is out of line because:
a) too many fungis on the server (making them affordable)
b) too many jbb's on the server (same)
c) shaman epic is mq'able (this is a whole other issue whether or not epics should be mq'able)

If they had kept the fungi drop rate super low, the chances of less level 60 shamans being on the server would more than likely be decreased, same holds true for jbb.

Should just come play on red. I've had a copy of torpor sitting in my bank waiting for me to level ever since I hit level 52. Praise the duke.

The spell price will go up even more come velious. Mobs that drop the spell are already killed so rarely and with the mass exodus to velious they will be killed even less.

In summary: Don't pay the EC fat cats 150k, its more time efficient to farm it.
